My favorites from the submissions using last edition’s uncaptioned picture:

Say, before we start this section, am I the only one who kept hearing this music while looking at last week’s uncaptioned pic?

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:

That’s Joe Biden’s head in the foreground, but you can pretend it’s someone else if you want.


Kris for pulling an obscure line out of a Futurama episode that I’ve seen at least half a dozen times but didn’t remember.


PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.

#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.

MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.

STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.

IMAGE SOURCES: Lots of great Obama pics to be found at the White House Flickr page.

Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.

I May Be Having Too Much Fun With This

After the ever-annoying commenter Carpenter left yet another one of his dour, boring, wet-blanket screeds, and refused to lighten up despite being called out for his foul demeanor, and leaving this obliviously obnoxious comment:

“they EARNED their Social Security and their pensions you G damned ^^^#@ing thieves! You Libertarians truly are the scum of the earth.”

Oppo said:

Years and years (and years) from now, it will be possible to get a smile out of Harvey by randomly dropping this quote into conversations: “you G damned ^^^#@ing thieves! You Libertarians truly are the scum of the earth.”

To which I responded:

No need to wait years and years. In fact, I think “you G damned ^^^#@ing thieves! You Libertarians truly are the scum of the earth.” should become the traditional first comment for every one of my posts.

It’s the new “First!”

Well, Bunkerhillbilly [High Praise!] then took me up on my suggestion on this post.

Yeah, I laughed my malnourished white gluteus maximus off.

Ya know, for some twisted reason this amuses me, so anytime anyone can put “you G damned ^^^#@ing thieves! You Libertarians truly are the scum of the earth.” as the first comment to one of MY posts (not Frank J. or Basil’s… this is strictly a “me” thing), I will reward that person with Bacon! in the comments.

UPDATE: By the way Basil suggested to me that if Carpenter (or anyone else, for that matter), leaves a dour, boring, wet-blanket screed, award him tofu (The Anti-Bacon). I second that.

Really, we’re trying to have fun here. If you can’t be cheerful, at least don’t be dull.

UPDATE: Also from Basil, the acronym YGDFT!YLTATSOTE

I have a feeling it’ll catch on and become the new TANSTAAFL

Not sure how to pronounce it, though.

Yig-diftl-tat-sote?
